CyberAgent MNI, Why don't you just open your good ol' American Heritage Dictionary instead? You'd see that ''scato-'' is plain English!

CyberAgent MNI, Just one more thing regarding your skepticism toward my ''French/Denard/Mossad'' scenario.... Remember, you said: You might have a chance in 30 years from now! Ever heard of Chaos Theory and especially about the Butterfly Effect? I suggest you reconsider your viewpoint on the basis of the following notions on the ''Butterfly Effect'' and their application to the Theory of Information (as developed by Shannon). gate.net staff.uiuc.edu update.uu.se
